Chapter 478: The Body Disappears
Lin Juren, formerly known as Lin Ye, was a Juren in the late Qing Dynasty. Because the Broken Bridge Village, where Lin Juren is located, is surrounded by mountains, there are few scholars in Broken Bridge Village, so Lin Juren is highly respected in the village, and the villagers will come to consult Lin Juren about anything in the village.
The sarong and I followed to Lin Ju's house. The two villagers quickly knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Lin Juren, Lin Juren, open the door quickly, something is wrong, something is wrong with the Tugen family!" ”
Lin Juren quickly opened the door and walked out in the dark, although the old man was old, but his body was still quite strong, only to hear the old man ask, "What's wrong?" ”
One of the villagers said, "Lin Juren, let's go to Tugen's house and have a look, his son is gone." ”
"What?" Hearing the words of the villagers, Lin Juren's body trembled slightly, his face was full of disbelief, and he said, "Teacher Li, he's gone?" ”
"Yes, Lin Juren, I think it's haunted. Go check it out. The villager said.
I walked over, looked at Lin Juren, and asked, "Old man, what's going on?" "At this time, it was promised that they had heard the movement. He also walked out of the room.
Lin Juren looked at a few of us and said, "You guys have a good rest, this is a matter in our village, I'll go over and take a look and come back." ”
"Lin Juren, who are?" After seeing us, the two men looked at us with a wary look on their faces and asked.
Lin Juren said: "These are my relatives from afar. It's my own people, let's go to Mugen's house to have a look. ”
Then, in the darkness, the three of Lin Juren disappeared into the darkness together with flashlights. On the way, I also heard Lin Juren say: "How can you be so dignified, will the corpse be gone?" ”
"I don't know, everyone was playing cards outside, and when Mugen's son went in to look, he found that the body was missing."
Looking at a few people in the distance. I looked serious, and I could tell from the words of these men. Something happened again in Broken Bridge Village.
The sarong glanced down at the silver paulownia fish in his hand, and then said, "It's not a big deal, you can leave it alone." ”
I said "um" and turned my head to look at Xu Yu, although my sister seemed to have nothing to do, but my intuition felt that she was a lot haggard, and I began to worry a little when I remembered what I said to me before the sarong.
Xu Promise felt my gaze, raised his head slightly and looked at me, and then asked suspiciously, "Little junior brother, what's wrong?" ”
"Senior sister, you're not feeling unwell, are you?" I asked.
Xu Promise shook his head and said, "No, why do you suddenly ask this?" ”
"It's okay...... it's okay" In my heart, there is only one thought left, that is, to find the people of Lejia as soon as possible and help my senior sister solve the thousands of poisonous Gu.
"Orange, there's not much time left for us, didn't you say that your soul power is only enough to sustain Le Ping'er for three days? We've already spent a day on the road, and there are two days left, and if we can't find someone from Lejia, the consequences will be terrible. Tongchen said.
I wanted to find out what was going on at the Tsuken family, but I really didn't have enough time, so I canceled the idea of going to the Roots house.
Back in the room, it was late at night, and Le Ping'er was temporarily taken care of by Xu Yue. The three of us were crammed into one room, and we couldn't sleep at night tossing and turning in the countryside.
People with shallow dreams always feel that the night is too long, I quietly look at the night outside the window, what awaits me tomorrow?
When the winter morning sun shone down, there was a creak of pushing the door, very soft.
I suddenly woke up from my sleep to find myself sweating profusely.
"Amma, do you have nightmares?" A small hand bridged me, in the early morning sun, Huairou touched my face with one hand and asked.
Huairou gets up very early every time, and she must be as dreamy as me.
I stretched out my hand and took Huairou's hand, and at this time, I saw outside the door, Lin Juren walked in, and his face was full of vicissitudes.
"Grandpa Lin, did you just come back?" I stopped Grandpa Lin who was passing by and asked.
Lin Juren said: "The doll got up so early, I'm going to cook some porridge, you can sleep for a while......" As he spoke, Lin Juren walked towards the kitchen tremblingly. Civil engineering wai brother.
I got out of bed and followed Lin Juren into the kitchen. Rural kitchens are in the form of large stoves, which are cooked on their own fires with wood. The food cooked on the stove is very fragrant. But the only bad thing is that sometimes the kitchen smoke is relatively large, and it is very choking.
I helped Lin Juren to light the fire behind the stove, and Huairou helped to collect firewood on the side, and the picture was very warm. In the process of making breakfast, I asked Lin Juren what happened last night.
Lin Juren said while washing rice: "It's so weird, it's really weird, little doll, do you say there are really ghosts in this world?" ”
I didn't speak, I kept silently adding firewood.
Lin Juren said again: "The day before yesterday, Mugen from Dongcun passed away the day before yesterday, and he was supposed to be buried today after three days of funeral at home, but the body disappeared last night, leaving only an empty floor ......."
"The body is gone? Was it stolen? "I was slightly surprised.
"Hey, it seems that the older people get, the more strange things they see, the demons have seen it a few years ago, and this year we are going to encounter this thing again...... Lin Juren said.
I can't help but think of the white shadow I saw last night, when I was on the mountain road, the white shadow who helped us didn't have any ghost energy on his body, and the person who had just died three days ago had no ghost energy on his body, could it be that the white shadow I bumped into yesterday was Mugen?
Originally, I didn't want to worry about Mugen's affairs, but if that ghost was really Mugen, he must have asked me for something to save me. I already owe the ghost a favor, so I have to help the ghost with reason.
I added fire and said, "Let's go and see when I'm done eating, Grandpa Lin, is there anyone in the village?" ”
"Roca?" Lin Juren said: "There are a few families in the village with the surname Le, but I don't know if it's the Lejia you're looking for!" ”
I asked Lin Juren to tell me all the addresses, and after eating, a few of us went to visit the families. But unfortunately, these families surnamed Le are not the Tongrentang Lejia we are looking for, which can't help but make me wonder.
A few of us stood next to a dead tree at the entrance of the village, surrounded by deep mountains, and the mountain fog could be seen in the distance.
At the foot of Wuling Mountain, on the shore of Yanxi Lake, the village bridge is broken, and the sunset is fragrant.
When I arrived at Wuling Mountain, I found that this clue was too vague, even more vague than the clue of finding Le Xiao in Black Dragon Village.
A few of us were standing at the entrance of the village, and I turned my head to look at Sarong and asked if Sarong could help me find someone from Lejia. The sarong told me that she could only see through the future of each person, not predict the future, and that she did not know what would happen in the future if people did not appear in front of her.
I turned my head to look at my senior sister, who was silent on the way out of Lin Ju's house, which made me worry. When I was about to ask a question, two people walked by at the entrance of the village, and the two of them looked frightened and said as they walked: "No, Mugenzi's family is dead again?" ”
"It's not, Mu Genzi's daughter-in-law was found dead at home, it looks terrifying, let's go and take a look." With that, the two of them hurriedly disappeared in front of us.
"Let's go, let's go check it out too!" After not remembering the clues of Lejia for the time being, we decided to go to Mugenzi's house together after several discussions.
When I came to the door of Mu Genzi's house, I saw that Mu Genzi's house was full of people, and there were white wreaths on both sides of the house. Because the room was full of people, I couldn't see what was going on inside the room, I could only hear the crying inside the room.
I forced my way to the front, and the people around me all looked at us with strange eyes, probably because they hadn't seen us before, and they all muttered quietly.
"It's a distant relative of the Lin Ju family, my own people!"
"Oh, I see, I said how could outsiders come into our village!"
After squeezing to the front, I saw the situation in the house, Lin Juren was discussing something with several elderly people in the village, next to him a middle-aged man was paralyzed on the ground, and next to the middle-aged man stood a little boy in sackcloth, only about four or five years old.
On the side of the middle-aged was a corpse covered with a white cloth, and I walked up to Lin Juren's side and asked, "Lin Lao, what's the matter?" ”
